    Entries will be judged in two age categories: 11 -15 and 16- 18. There is one entry category: Me and My World, Entries should be an original and true story about your life, or the world you live in. It could be about your own identity or experience that influences you or your community. You need to show how your report on this story can reflect the wider situation. Entries will only be considered when submitted via the online mechanism (机制). No other method of entry is permitted (this includes email or post).

  • 17、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

    It was a cold, snowy evening. Tommy was running as fast as he could, focused on nothing but his destination—the shop on the street corner. Two weeks ago he saw figurines(小塑像) of Marvel superheroes on the shelves and felt he had to have one. He's been walking the neighbor's dog ever since then to earn money to fulfil his little dream. He was so excited and barely noticing the world around him. Maybe that's why he tripped over the legs of a homeless woman, who was sitting on the pavement, her back against the wall. He murmured(低语) "sorry" and moved on to his destination.

    Once he entered the shop, he went straight to the shelves with figurines. Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, and many more—all of his admired heroes. With his heart pounding like crazy he reached for Spiderman.

    "You like these, true believer?"

    Tommy turned around. An old man was standing behind him with a wide smile on his face.

    "Y-yes, …Yes, they're awesome!" answered Tommy. "They're strong and fast and help other people a lot ..."the boy looked at figurines in admiration. "I wish I could be a superhero too."

    "Then become one!" said the old man.

    "How?" Tommy asked in surprise. "I don't have any superpowers."

    "And why would you need them?" the old man smiled. Seeing the confusion on the boy's face, he squatted(蹲下) and put his hands on Tommy's arms. "Did you know that shopkeeper lady over there has a disabled husband? She's been working hard and taking care of him for years. I've never heard a word of complaint from her. And this person —" he pointed at a redhead man, who just entered the shop. "He's a firefighter; he's saved countless lives. He never gives up, no matter how dangerous the situation seems to be."

    The old man looked Tommy in the eyes and smiled. "You don't need a superpower to be a hero for someone else. The path of a superhero starts not in the mind, not in the muscles, but in the heart."

    注意:

    1.续写词数应为150左右;

    2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

    Tommy lowered his head and looked at his shoes thinking intensely.

    The homeless woman was right there, where he saw her last time.

    Overcoming Fear of Failure

    Have you ever been so afraid of failing at something that you decided not to try at all? Or has fear of failure meant that, subconsciously, you undermined (削弱) your own efforts to avoid the possibility of a larger failure? It's important to realize that in everything we do, there's always a chance that we'll fail. Facing that chance and embracing it give us a more rewarding life. Here are a few ways to reduce the fear of failing.

    Analyze all potential outcomes. Remove that fear by considering all of the potential outcomes of your decision. You can map possible outcomes visually.

    Set small goals. Imagining how life will be after you've reached your goal is a great motivator to keep you moving forward. So start by setting a few small goals. Don't focus on the end picture. Just focus on the next step. Taking one small step at a time will help build your confidence, keep you moving towards your final goal.

    Learn to think more positively. Every coin has two sides. Learn to change your thoughts and focus more on the bright side of the situation, making you like yourself. Positive thinking is an incredibly powerful way to build self-confidence.

    In some cases, the toughest situation may be genuinely disastrous (灾难性的) and it may be perfectly reasonable to fear failure. In other cases, however, this worst case may actually not be that bad, and recognizing this can help.

    A. Look at the worse-case situation.

    B. It is up to you to decide which one to look at.

    C. Failing at something can help you discover your truest friends.

    D. Many of us have probably experienced this at one time or another.

    E. If you are afraid of failure, you might be uncomfortable setting goals.

    F. These should be goals that are slightly, but not overwhelmingly, challenging.

    G. Many people experience fear of failure because they fear the unknown.
